R&B singer Chris Brown has responded to reports that he called Jay-Z a “cornball” during the rapper’s acceptance speech during the American Music Awards.

Brown‘s “cornball” tweet in question came as Jay-Z accepted the award for Best Male Hip-Hop Artist on November 23.

Last night Brown called into DJ Whoo Kid’s Shade 45 show, where he discussed a number of topics, including his upcoming album Graffiti, his relationship with Rihanna and the alleged Tweet about Jay-Z

“My Twitter didn’t get hacked, people blew it out of proportion,” Brown told DJ Whoo Kid. “I was also commenting on certain things going on the AMA’s but I was still Tweeting randomly about what as going on. So like the homies was out the house and everybody was like ‘oh he’s making an excuse.’ I just said ‘cornball.’ I was talking about homie at all.”

Brown immediately removed the post when his followers began flooding his page with messages.

The Tweet was quickly circulated around the Internet, making headlines.

“At that moment, I started seeing the comments, ‘oh you talking about Jay? You talking about Jay?’ I was like hell nah, then I said let me delete this before this gets out proportion. I don’t need no problems right now, I don’t need no more people cussing me out.

“People just being on some extra s**t.. I was just like man go ahead with all that,” Brown stated. “They blew it up and I was like man whatever.”

Brown has also denied any strained relationship with Jay-Z, because the two have not spoken.

Jay-Z did reportedly have unflattering words for Brown in February, after Brown was charged with punching and biting Rihanna during a spat in Los Angeles.

US Weekly cited unnamed sources that claimed Jay-Z “hit the roof” when he found out about the assault and labeled Brown a “walking dead man” for assaulting Rihanna, whom Jay-Z discovered.

“I never really talked to homie,” Brown said. “It aint no beefs, I just get my money and he gets his.”

“So we celebrating my n***a birthday, but we’re also celebrating the demise of a p***y. R.I.P. to the donkey, we buried him,” Ross stated on stage with Khaled. “It feel good, n***a. Don’t look surprised, you knew we was gonna do it. There’s only one record that can describe the feeling.”

Concluding his victory speech, Ross went into “This Is the Life,” the fourth single from his 2008 gold sophomore LP Trilla.

In January, Rick Ross began his feud with 50 Cent courtesy of “Mafia Music,” where he ridiculed the Queens’ emcee about his relationship with his child’s mother, and the controversy surrounding the fire destruction of his Fort Dix, Long Island mansion.

DJ Khaled was brought into the conflict as well when the Queens mogul had entourage members film Khaled’s mother unknowingly at her job (“A Psychic Told Me”). 50 Cent would later express regret for the act, after receiving negative responses

Iverson's representatives have told Smith of Iverson's plans on Wednesday.

Iverson "I would like to announce my plans to retire from the National Basketball Association," Iverson said in a statement on StephanA.com, Smith Web site. "I always thought that when I left the game, it would be because I couldn't help my team the way that I was accustomed to. However, that is not the case.

"I still have tremendous love for the game, the desire to play, and a whole lot left in my tank. I feel strongly that I can still compete at the highest level."

Iverson, who has played 14 seasons in the NBA, played three games with the Memphis Grizzlies but complained about coming off the bench. The team then gave him a leave of absence to attend to personal matters. The two sides eventually agreed to part ways and Iverson was waived.

Iverson had been close to signing with the New York Knicks last week but the deal fell through.

After initially stating his forthcoming prison sentence would be beneficial to his career, Louisiana emcee Lil’ Boosie is now remorseful and saddened about the term that will keep him behind bars for an estimated two years.

Boosie, real name Torrence Hatch, was originally convicted of a third offense for marijuana possession.

The jail term was then exacerbated when Boosie violated his house arrest order to complete two concert dates.

According to Boosie, his sentencing was based on his rap persona over his actual behavior, which was simply to provide support for his 7 children and another still to be born.

Also, the rapper had been sued before for not fulfilling show dates, and wanted to prevent any further legal complications before going to prison.

“They’re treating me on who they think I am. They judging me on Boosie Bad Azz, not Torrence Hatch,” Boosie stated to Louisiana’s WAFB channel 9. “I had to do these two shows these last two days to feed my family.”

Aside from the marijuana convictions, Boosie has previous arrests on battery, weapons charges, and attempted bribery of a police officer.

This contentious history with the law is something Boosie admits is the result of his own reckless decisions.

“I blame it on myself, because things I did I wanted to. Trouble is easy to get into, but it’s hard to get out. I won’t be able to see my child born, yeah that hurts,” he stated.

Although the marijuana conviction is his third, the 26 year old struggles to understand why his sentencing was so harsh after revealing he has an addiction.

“If I made a mistake with marijuana, why am I not eligible for rehab?” Boosie questioned. “I’ve been on marijuana since a teenager. I need some rehab. Jail is not rehab.”

For his young fans, the reflective young rapper offered education as the main tool to stay away from the street life that encompasses his art.

“School is the first thing, once you stay in school and make up your mind you want to be somebody, the negatives will go away,” he explained. “And stay away from the negative people.

At press time, Lil Boosie is in custody at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana, and serving his two year sentence. Following its completion, he will be required to finish 5 years of probation.

A concert featuring rap group the New Boyz turned into chaos yesterday (November 23) in downtown Roanoke, Virginia.

Hundreds of people showed up at the Red Clay Restaurant to see the popular duo during a benefit concert sponsored by local station Jammin’ WJJS.

The event quickly spiraled out of control when guests were forced outside, due to the large amount of people in attendance at the concert.

Witnesses told local News7 that police pepper sprayed the crowd, including women and children, as they waited in line, some as long as two hours.

“The police came and stated that it was over capacitated and that they needed everyone to leave,” a witness stated. “We was still on the sidewalk with the kids and the police officers, they threatened the crowd to pepper spray, and so the crowd didn‘t move. And then they maced us and they obtained some kids and it was just a lot of raucous going on and they had the street blocked off. It was just a lot of problems. ”

Police spokesman Aisha Johnson denied witness reports.

According to Johnson, one man was pepper sprayed and arrested, although the nature of this charges were known at press time.

Witnesses stated that the New Boyz only performed one song, before the show was ended.

The disruption marks the second time this month a New Boyz show has ended prematurely.

On November 8th, a free concert in Flint, Michigan was ended early due to multiple fights breaking out in Genesee Valley Center Mall.

The New Boyz are currently on the road promoting their album Skinny Jeans and A Mic, which is in stores now.

Formal negotiations in an effort to make a megafight between pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the first part of 2010 will open Monday, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com.

In the year's biggest fight, Manny Pacquiao TKO'd Miguel Cotto to win his record seventh different title.Schaefer was on his way Monday morning from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to meet Top Rank's Bob Arum, Pacquiao's promoter, for lunch at the MGM Grand, which has hosted several Pacquiao and Mayweather fights.

"Floyd and me want to see if we can get the fight done," said Schaefer, who, although he doesn't have a promotional contract with Mayweather, has represented him in his past three fights and was asked to represent him in these talks. "The fact that I am flying to Las Vegas to meet with Bob shows you how serious our side is about making the fight.

"Bob and I will approach this without egos and try to get it done under fair terms. Floyd gave me his marching orders and I will see today how it goes and report back."

A pairing of Pacquiao and Mayweather is the biggest fight boxing has to offer and could break all sorts of revenue records.

In the year's biggest fight earlier this month, Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) beat Miguel Cotto on a technical knockout in the 12th round to win a welterweight title, his seventh title in a record seven weight divisions.

The fight sold 1.25 million units on pay-per-view and generated more than $70 million in domestic television revenue.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. returned from a short-lived retirement in September to dominate lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez.Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs), the former welterweight champ and pound-for-pound king before a short-lived retirement, returned on Sept. 19 to dominate lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez in a lopsided unanimous decision.

That fight generated 1.05 million buys on pay-per-view.

The all-time pay-per-view record is the 2.44 million buys generated by Mayweather's 2007 win against Oscar De La Hoya.

"I can confirm I am meeting with Richard, but I'm not going to talk about the specifics," Arum told ESPN.com. "It's a meeting where we will try to make the fight. Whether it can be made or not in this meeting, I don't know. We'll see what we will see."

Schaefer said he hopes he and Arum can make the fight quickly, rather than dragging the talks out for weeks.

"As part of the negotiations both Bob and I had to agree to keep all discussions confidential," Schaefer said. "No further comments will be made until such time that we either have a deal or the negotiations fall apart."

Producer Dr. Dre has confirmed that rivals 50 Cent and Game will make cameo appearances on his often delayed album Detox.

Dre made the revelation during a press conference for his Beats by Dre headphone line at Best Buy’s Union Square location in New York on Thursday (November 19).

A reporter for RapRadar.com queried the producer on the feud between the two artists, who are affiliated with his Aftermath imprint.

“Everything is good. Both guys are gonna be on my record,” Dr. Dre revealed. “And you know, I’m just trying to put it back where it’s supposed to be, all love.”

When asked about the release date of Detox, Dr. Dre could offer no solid date.

“The minute it’s done and it feels right to me, that’s when it’ll come out. Hopefully in the beginning of the year,” Dre said.

Dre’s headphone line is a partnership with Interscope and Monster Cable and Best Buy.

Best Buy will set up custom “Club Beat” areas in 300 stores to sell the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones in addition to DJ equipment, mixers, turntables, laptops and other gear.

While the Game and 50 cent may make cameo appearances on Detox, the cold war of words between the two rappers rages on.

In a recent interview with MTV.com, 50 Cent proclaimed that he would never work with Game under any circumstances.

“I wouldn't do it,” 50 Cent told MTV.com. “I'd be on a record, on a song, on the [Detox] album, but not on that record [with Game].”

The Game replied to 50’s comments in an interview with Complex Magazine. Although he had unflattering words for his rival, Game said he would consider working with 50 Cent in the future.

“I mean, I don’t know what 50’s problem is but I’m here,” Game told Complex.com. “Whenever he wants to call me on the phone and talk about it, squash it or we can keep on going with this f**king child like antics. He can do it, I can do it and we can do it ’til we f**kin’ die, it
